In the Jin Palace, Yang Guang didn't know what was happening in the palace now, and summoned many generals to the Jin Palace, and the generals who were going to attack Nanchen in the future in the capital were basically present.

After gathering people, Yang Guang said to Li Jing: "Li Jing, next you tell everyone about our strategy for attacking Nan Chen. ”

At this time, someone immediately stood up and said: "Your Highness, this is not a good time to discuss the strategy against Nanchen, the battlefield in the northeast is still fighting fiercely, although our army is like a bamboo, but the military consumption is huge, and it is better to focus on stability when there is no major event on the southern front." ”

"The last general seconded the proposal, our Great Sui has already conducted peace talks with Goguryeo, it is better to wait for the results of the peace talks to come out before attacking Nanchen, and only by working together can we get twice the result with half the effort."

Almost everyone had the same opinion, including Yang Su.

Yang Su also persuaded: "Your Highness, now is indeed not a good time. ”

Yang Guang slowly got up and said, "Some of you know, some of you may not know, this morning my imperial brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, returned to Beijing from the front line and is now in the palace. ”

Most of the generals knew the news, of course, many of them were called by Yang Guang before they received the news.

For a while, everyone was talking.

But what does this have to do with their current discussion of conquest of Nan Chen?

Yang Guang let them discuss for a while, before standing up and saying: "The commander is outside, he returns without an edict, the monarch and the minister are suspicious, the commander is not in harmony, and the battle with Goguryeo has been fought for more than half a year, and it is true that our army has achieved a lot of results, but now if the peace talks are successful, the war will be over, and if Goguryeo finds that the prince of the Great Sui has returned to Beijing, the army's morale is unstable, and it is not impossible to take the opportunity to fight back." ”

Yang Guang walked to the sand table and pulled up the Goguryeo flag on the map: "No matter how the battle with Goguryeo is, it should be over within the year, and both sides should be very restrained in a short time." ”

"But Your Highness, in the northeast, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back, and His Royal Highness King Wei is in charge, so it can be safe."

Yang Guang looked directly at the person who asked the question and asked: "If we fight on the front line, I, as the commander of the three armies, will return to Daxing City alone without saying a word, leaving the front army alone, let me ask you, can you stabilize the panic of the army?" ”

The man swallowed and shook his head.

Yang Guang continued: "Yes, even if Uncle Wei Wang does have earth-shattering talents, but the commander acts like this, the army's morale will inevitably be in chaos, everyone here is a battle-hardened general, and I don't need to say more about the consequences of the army's confusion." ”

Many people sighed, the first battle of Goguryeo, from the beginning of the winter expedition led by King Wei, the defeat of the city to the back of the layer of advancement, are full of praise, and this is the real sense of the main force of the Great Sui is equipped with firearms after the national war, so a lot of tactical tactics are temporarily changed by King Wei according to the actual situation.

It has great inspiration and reference significance for those who march and fight, so everyone pays special attention to it.

Now that the army on the battlefield of Goguryeo is in turmoil, but with King Wei here, Yang Guang feels that he may not be able to continue to achieve success, but it should not be a big problem to keep the current results, and it would be even better to let Goguryeo send something more during the peace talks.

"Therefore, the battlefield of Goguryeo should be over within this year, and the battle against Nanchen is the real most important battle of our Great Sui."

Yang Guang was like a speaker in front of everyone: "Since Sima Chaos, Wuhu Chaohua, and the southward crossing of clothes, the Central Plains has been divided for hundreds of years, and the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and now only our Great Sui and Nanchen are left on the land of the Central Plains, living in the north and south, and the trend of unification of the world has been achieved, and we will take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation." ”

The matter of unifying the world has been talked about many times in the past, and the generals do not think that this is a simple and achievable goal, or that it is a lofty goal that they are striving for.

People who grew up in the era of division, especially those who grew up under the general trend of division that lasted for hundreds of years, even felt that this kind of war was just a normal war between countries, and that what they wanted from each other was interests, not the idea of great unification.

At this time, Yang Guang found that it seemed useless to communicate with the people below with the idea of great unification, and it could not stimulate everyone's inner passion.

This kind of thing must be united in the hearts of the army and the same goal.

At this time, the youngest Li Jing walked to the sand table, took out a pole and pointed to Nan Chen's map and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to Beijing without an edict and violated military law, I don't know how His Majesty will punish and deal with His Royal Highness the Prince, and I don't dare to speculate, but if it were me, I would be very disappointed in my son." ”

Yang Su instantly understood what Li Jing meant, and looked at Yang Guang's expression becoming strange, and he could be regarded as having figured out what Yang Guang meant by summoning this group of people today to conquer Nan Chen.

Yang Su immediately stood up: "Li Jing, although the prince is immoral, we should not talk about the prince's virtue, we only talk about today's things, and only talk about our own affairs." ”

Although Yang Su blamed Li Jing on the surface, a sentence about the prince's immorality made everyone wake up to the fact that the prince was immoral and difficult to be a king.

Everyone knows more or less about the two saints, especially the queen is quite dissatisfied with the stupid things that the prince did, and this time there is such a thing, and many people have heard the news in the East Palace before.

There are even some gossip rumors circulating among the people.

If the crown prince really changes hands, then who will be the crown prince?

It is undoubtedly His Royal Highness the King of Jin in front of him now, and today the King of Jin summoned them to discuss the matter of conquering Nan Chen, this is not the conquest of Nan Chen, this is the oath meeting to help the King of Jin ascend to the throne of the crown prince, this is the road to heaven for them to go up.

Take 10,000 steps back, the emperor will not abolish the crown prince, and will not make the king of Jin the crown prince.

But Yang Yong is now behaving so much, if Yang Guang really beats Nan Chen, it is not necessarily said that he will fight all of them, fight part of them, and come back from a big victory, then the power of the two cannot be compared.

How to choose between the sons who will help you fight the world and the useless sons, the sons who hold the military power and the sons who abandon the army? Can Yang Jian still choose the wrong one?

I chose the wrong one, and I saw the real chapter in front of the Xuanwu Gate.

With the general trend of the world, the big position can be expected.

And the people who help him can be described as the ministers of the dragon, and the relationship is not comparable to others.

At this time, Li Yuan, who had not spoken before, stood up and said: "Weichen Li Yuan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the first to look forward, and I am willing to help His Highness to unify the world!" ”

"The last general, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the first to look forward, and I am willing to help His Royal Highness to unify the world!"

At this time, the people present stood up one after another to express their position.

Compared with being semi-held hostage by their subordinates and saying that they want to grab the dragon chair after making great contributions in the future, otherwise they will be more motivated and consider the integrity of the future by letting them know the direction of struggle and the possible rewards after success in the future.

This big pie, as long as they draw a stroke by themselves, the others will make up for it by themselves.

No matter what happened this time, the emperor would see the huge gap between his two sons, like a cloud of mud, comparable to a chasm.

……

Early the next morning, in the early dynasty, the ministers present saw for the first time the emperor listless, even in a state of malaise.

In the past few years, Yang Jian, unless he is sick, has always faced every court meeting energetically, giving people a look of always being full of energy and full of energy.

He knew that he was not young anymore, and he had even felt weak in the past two years, but everyone wanted his leadership to be full of spirit, and if the leader of a country had to be supported when he walked, and he stumbled when he climbed the stairs, wouldn't the ministers feel that his monarch was old and weak?

So he always strives to be in good spirits every morning.

It is precisely because of this that today's malaise makes the ministers feel even more abrupt and strange.

Gao Xi saw that the situation was not right, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in recent days, the wind and rain in the Great Sui have been smooth, the country and the people are safe, and there are many things that have been played in various places without urgency. ”

When you are on an errand in the court, you know how to figure out the holy will, even if you succeed most of the time.

Gao Xi's words obviously satisfied Yang Jian, and he was about to give an order, but someone who was uninteresting stood up.

Yang Su, the prince of Qinghe County, came out of the ranks of the courtiers and strode towards the middle of the main hall: "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to do." ”

Yang Su naturally knew that standing up at this time would attract the emperor's disgust, but after all, someone would do it, and someone had to bear this unfortunate thing.

Since the treasure is on Yang Guang, he will stud that time.

Gao Xi gave Yang Su a look and motioned him not to speak, but Yang Suquan didn't see it and immediately spoke.

"Your Majesty, yesterday Weichen received a report from the front line, there seems to be a Buddhist organization near Youzhou called [Yiye Tan Buddha Country], the number of followers is huge, the local officials feel that this Buddhist organization is not like a good person, after asking about the previous war between Shuozhou and the Turks, there was a branch of this organization in the Guannei and the mountain bandits, and please pay attention to this matter, send the Youzhou army to suppress the bandits."

Yang Su naturally can't talk about the prince's affairs directly, yesterday they discussed the matter of the conquest of Nanchen, very coincidentally, very incidentally discussed the information of Youzhou and the northeast, and after summarizing the information of the recent March, they found some matters that may require the use of troops in Youzhou, among which the [Yiye Tan Buddha Country], which originated in Zhuo County, has recently shown signs of growth in Youzhou.

Pushing the boat down the river, we talked about it as a matter of course.

After Yang Su finished speaking, another official stood up at the right time and said righteously: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that this matter is inappropriate, the Youzhou army is at war with Goguryeo, although it is the time for peace talks, but it can't be slack, but it's just a small church, it's not enough to worry about, don't worry too much, the Youzhou army should go all out to face Goguryeo and ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Yang Su immediately said: "This is wrong, the Youzhou army is strong and strong, Goguryeo is just a fish belly, it is not our army's opponent at all, and these churches are demagogic and easy to cause turmoil, this kind of evil sect and crooked religion, it is not once or twice to make trouble, often every time a group of believers are very fanatical, and they can only kill many people to calm down, and now there are signs that they should send troops to quell it, and they can't sit back and watch it expand, and it only takes less than 10,000 elite soldiers to calm down." ”

"It's easy to say, this kind of organization, the most difficult to find, deep into the people, to grasp the root cause of a year and a half I'm afraid it's difficult, the current war to draw so many troops, in the end may still be useless, Weichen dare to ask if this is because of this delay in the war with Goguryeo, so that the frontline results are lost, can you afford this responsibility?"

Yang Su angrily pointed at the man and said, "You!! You are lying to confuse the public, I said that I want to exterminate the demon cult, your reaction is so big, is it because you have collusion with that demon? ”

"Hmph, don't want to spew blood, I think it's the county prince who has a lot of assets in Zhuo County, I'm afraid he is using the army to protect his private property."

"The Goguryeo battle is lost, can you be responsible?"

"The Demon Sect is bigger, can you be responsible?"

The court's argument suddenly turned into a quarrel.

The emperor's face was dull, listening to their quarrel, although he didn't say anything about the prince, but after a few words, he pulled the battle situation in Goguryeo, and the emperor thought of the prince who returned to Beijing without permission and left the army behind.

The more noisy it is, the more upset it becomes.

Gao Gong naturally knew about the prince's return to Beijing, but he didn't know what had happened, and at this time, this group of people repeatedly mentioned the Goguryeo battlefield to constantly remind the prince of his return to Beijing.

Seeing that the quarrel was becoming more and more intense, Gao Gong stood up and stopped the two.

"Both! Two of you! The court is a place to discuss things, not a place to scold each other, so please take a break. ”

Yang Su threw down a sentence indignantly: "The erector is not enough and the plot is a child who brings disaster to the country and the government." ”

The quarrel subsided, and Gao Gong played a round again: "Your Majesty, the matter of the Zhuojun Demon Sect, let Weichen send someone to investigate it first, and then talk about it after a conclusion." ”

Yang Jian didn't have any intention of discussing the government at this time, how to deal with the prince's affairs gave him a headache, but he couldn't talk about this matter with his most trusted Gao Gong, because his daughter was also the prince's good training, but she was not favored, and since the queen began to investigate this matter, she first arranged for Gao Liangxun to go back to her parents' house to live temporarily, avoiding the turmoil.

Gao Liangxun is also an indifferent character, no matter what happens, so Gao Gong can't get any information from her.

I could only guess from the emperor's sad expression that things must be extremely bad.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, there was a fast horse from the south gate quickly drove in, and the soldiers on the horse, wrapped in a mourning white cloth, rushed all the way to the palace gate.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the newspaper from the Border Gate Mansion was passed by the eunuchs one by one and sent to the court hall where they were arguing.

When Gao Gong let the quarrel stop for a while, and before he could say anything more, the newspaper was sent to the main hall.

Because the matter is urgent, no one dares to delay, and it is directly up to heaven.

The eunuch who reported trembled and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Border Emergency, His Royal Highness King Wei...... His Royal Highness the King of Wei...... Your Highness, it's gone. ”
